Online Giving Option

December 2011

The process of giving resources to an organization should be as easy as possible. So two years ago, St. Ambrose introduced an option for online giving through the SAU website.

"People were asking for an online giving option-an easy way to give a gift at the end of the year, or any other time," said Angie Bardsley '09, assistant director of alumni relations and special projects.

Donating online eliminates writing a check, and credit cards can also be used. Donors can opt to make a one-time gift or set up recurring payments.

The same paperwork and documentation still takes place for an online donation. The transaction is secure and takes only a few minutes. Because it is easier and faster, donating online costs less for St. Ambrose to process, so more of the donor's gift can go directly toward supporting students.

The numbers speak for themselves-since September 2009, more than 600 gifts have been made online totaling more than $141,000.
